Overview
The Mitsubishi 6A1 engine is a series of piston V6 engines from Mitsubishi Motors, found in their small and medium vehicles through the 1990s. They ranged from 1. 6 to 2. 5 L in size, and came with a variety of induction methods and cylinder head designs and configurations.
Now out of production, the 1. 6 L 6A10 is still the smallest modern production V6. The small displacement was offered so Japanese buyers could purchase a powerful engine, while reducing their annual road tax obligation....
